Gold Digger: A Whisky’s Novel
By: RB Hilliard
5 out of 5 stars
The story Gold Digger: A Whisky’s Novel by RB Hilliard is a romantic comedy. It is the wonderful story of Blake Moreno and Hadley Jacobs. They are two characters that I loved reading about and I wanted them to find their HEA together. Blake Moreno is a man that doesn’t do relationships. He has always walked the other way when a woman wants to get serious. That was before Hadley. Hadley is a woman who loves to cook. She has her future planned out. That was before Blake. This couple has an intense attraction to one another and can’t stop thinking about each other. They also can’t stay away from each other. Hadley sees Blake as a man that charms any woman that he meets and would not be true to just one. At times there are misunderstandings and jumping to conclusions. Even so, they are still falling hard for each other. Their relationship is very steamy. Will they both find happiness and their HEA together? This is a story that is well written and easy to read. It is also a book that had me smiling and laughing. The interactions between both Blake and Hadley as well as their interactions with the other characters in the book are very humorous. It is the first book I have read by the author and it will not be the last. I look forward to reading more of her stories.

I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed reading a book so much. Gold Digger by Ms. Hilliard swept me away and kept me enthralled until the very end. I laughed, laughed some more and swooned my way through this wonderful book. Gold Digger was everything it promised and more.
Blake Moreno is a lady’s man. There’s no other way to describe him. Well, okay, may hot, arrogant, self-assured, but still a lady’s man. He likes variety, he’s not ashamed of his lifestyle and he’s happy that in the end, he can just walk away. Because Blake doesn’t do relationships. EVER.
Hadley Jacobs is a planner. She knows what she wants out of her life. Finish culinary school and open her own bakery. These are her dreams and she means to accomplish them. This means she needs to keep her focus and not get distracted. Especially by the likes of Blake Moreno.
Ms. Hilliard blew me away with her smart witty humor and great writing style. With a book that flowed seamlessly and characters that kept you captivated, Ms. Hilliard delivers a rousing 5-star book. This being the first read for me but this author has definitely snagged my interest and add Ms. Hilliard to my must-read author list.

I really enjoyed this story and I am so glad to have a found a new author to explore. I’m not sure how I’ve never any of her books before but that is now rectified! I loved Gold Digger! I thought it was well written, with a great pace and flow, likeable characters and a storyline with some great twists and turns that kept my interest from beginning to end. Whilst the second book in the Whiskeys series I can definitely say that it can be read as a standalone however I definitely want to read book 1 now – I loved the secondary characters and I would love to read more about them.
I liked Hadley and Blake, for me I thought that they were so perfect together and I was definitely rooting for them the whole way through the story. Blake was probably your typical arrogant alpha male however there was a different side to him too. Hadley was a genuinely nice character; I really liked her and thought that she was relatable.
I certainly can’t wait to read more from this author in the future.

Gold Digger is the second book in the Whisky’s series by R.B Hilliard. This is a great contemporary romance that had me hooked from the first chapter. A story where opposites attract, and sparks fly. I flew though this book in a couple of hours, then went back to one click the first book to read as well, because I didn’t immediately realise that this is the second book in the series. Although, you could definitely read it as a standalone if you wanted to. But, like me, you may get to the end and have to know more about the other characters in the book, too. This is a sexy, romantic, fun read. I loved the characters and enjoyed their dynamic in the story. Each character is a really well-developed individual, with their own unique personalities, traits and quirks. They were really well crafted, and I couldn’t help but invest in them and their story.
Hadley Jacobs dreams of owning her own bakery. She is passionate about baking and is very close to completing her culinary degree. She thinks she has it all figured out, but gets a bit of a curve ball with a hook-up at a wedding. Things will never be the same.
Blake Moreno is a successful businessman, and military veteran. He’s a sexy, controlling, alpha-type who has a reputation for being a ladies man. He doesn’t do relationships- so he isn’t expecting a hook-up to turn his life upside down.
I really enjoyed Hadley and Blake’s story and I can’t wait to see what comes next.
Thank you, R.B Hilliard!

How is this the first book I’ve ever read by this author? I loved this, and I don’t know why but after reading the synopsis I was expecting a different kind of story than what I actually got.
I know now that there is a book before this one and I will be reading that as soon as I can and after checking I see this author has many books available and I’ll be looking into every one of those as well.
I could tell while reading that I was missing some history with some of the characters but that didn’t matter and I never felt lost. This is Blake and Hadley’s story and what a story it was. It started right out with a twist that I thought was awesome and the rest of the story just got better from there. I loved these two, well it took me a few more pages to fall in love with Blake than Hadley but in the end they were both awesome and the secondary characters…OMG Hadley’s Mom and sister cracked me up as well as Wayne…I wanted more of all of them by the time I finished and I just know there has to be a story out there brewing for Hunter as well.
This was an awesome book, and everything about it was smooth and easy, I enjoyed every word and can’t wait for more by this author.

Rated 5 stars
I Love Love Loved this story! There is some sweet times in this book. I loved that Blake was all in! I mean of course not right off the bat but dang he impressed me. He started being a jerk and a womanizer but in the end…i forgave him because that man has a way with words. Dang! Hadley definitely had a struggle on her hands. I really felt for her at times because Blake WAS such a jerk. The suffering was worth it in the end. She is so strong and she impressed me as well. I am loving the writing in this story! It seems to flow so easily and pulls me into the characters lives. Each of the characters is wonderful in their own right. Hadley and Blake have a wonderful story and each brought their own craziness to the relationship. Cat and Zane are fun to read. I don’t know their story but now I want to read it! They are great friends and even better family. Hunter makes me wonder what is going to happen to him. I feel sorry yet wonder how much of this he brought on himself.
The respective families of Hadley and Blake were great and added some FUN to the story. I don’t want to forget to mention the zany neighbors of Cat and Zane along with the coworkers at the restaurant. They are all a little nutty but in the good way. Again smiling and laughing while reading. Great secondary character really help make books and this author did an outstanding job.
This is a first time author for me and since I throughly enjoyed the writing and the characters so much I will be looking for other books to read. (Starting the Cat and Zane’s story) This one is going to be a reread and go on my favorites shelf! I also love the title and was curious about it. I got my answer in the book and I loved it! This story brought a smile to my face numerous times and I couldn’t be happier that I picked it to read! Great job!
Gold Digger by RB Hilliard a five-star read worth its weight in Gold. This is the second book in the Whisky series and you could read it as stand-alone, but I have read Utterly Forgettable before this one, and will read the next one that I hope will happen. Hadley Jacobs is fun and friendly and quiet, and finally has her dreams coming together, until one fateful night at her best friend’s wedding. Then all of her plans go haywire but sometimes you need to take a leap of faith and leaping into the heart and soul of Charlotte may just be what she needs. Blake Moreno may get the biggest shock of all. But in his case a shock is what he needs, but can he leave his baggage behind? Or will it follow him like a bad smell.
Once again, a well written and hotter than all hell read that will make you dream of being in Sazerac’s on 6th with a stiff cocktail in one hand and something firm in the other. Thank you RB for once again being an amazing writer.
Gold Digger by RB Hillard is a great standalone romance novel with lots of twists and turns that will keep you ferociously reading from beginning to end. Following the tale of Blake the man-whore and his drunken one night stand with Hadley the sweet and sassy little thing that rocked his world, is a night that he or her won’t soon forget. When alcohol and over the top sex mix, life can take you on a whole new path, like one with a baby. When Hadley finds out that she is pregnant, she has to rethink her entire life plan, but her first step is to move closer to Blake and find a way to tell him. The story from there only goes from hilarious mishap to the next from there on out. Getting to watch this story play out made this such a fun read. Hillard is a new to me author, and I am so glad that I picked this book up. I laughed so hard throughout this book at all the shenanigans that happened. Blake and Hadley could not have been better characters to get to know. If you are looking for a great book by a newer author than this is one that you need to pick up today!

This is the first book I’ve read by Hilliard. I can’t wait to get my hands on another Whiskey Novel. I’m hoping after Utterly Forgettable there are more.
“I was a planner, and for the first time in my life, I didn’t have a plan. I was flying blind. The ground beneath my feet kept changing and the rules by which I’d governed my life were shifting faster than I could keep up with.”
The title was deceiving for me. I was prejudging what I thought this book would mainly be about…don’t tell my husband, but I admit it… I was sooo wrong! This book was so much more than I anticipated. It was filled will friendship, humor, acceptance, heartbreak, alpha men, new beginnings, steamy scenes…did I mention humor!
‘Decide if it’s worth it…If it is, then do any and everything to keep it. If it’s not, then let it go and move on.’
I absolutely loved Blake and Hadley.
A wedding, a smoking hot alpha male , a sweet sexy young chef , a night of unbrideled passion and a fabulous cast of characters! This one had eveything i love in a book. As I continued reading I realized that each character was evolving right before my eyse.
A committment fearing man and a unsure of herself woman making their way with what fate deals them!!
Great Read !!

This is a new author to me and I’m really surprised they haven’t appeared on my radar before now and I will be rectifying that. I understand Gold Digger is book 2 in the Whiskey Series but I can vouch that you can read this book as a stand-alone as I haven’t read book 1 yet.
Weddings are happy events but for Hailey it leads to a night of passion with Blake the man she has loved from a distance for years, what do you do after you have just had a one night stand with your best friends brother……
This book is all about taking chances, Hailey had her life planned out until that fateful night will she take a chance on Blake the man who has all, looks, money and his pick of women and will he finally pick her. This couple have a love hate relationship, she finds him controlling and he finds her infuriating but you know what the say “ hate only means deep down you love”. This was a fun romantic read and I loved Blake and Hailey and their witty banter. Great introduction to a new author
4 Star Review of Gold Digger (A Whisky’s Novel) by RB Hilliard
A new author to me and I have no idea why. This was a well written story that kept me invested from the first to the last chapter.
Blake Moreno doesn’t do relationships, in fact he is a bit of an arrogant jerk. He’s known as a player who has his pick of stunning women, the last thing he plans to do is settle down.
Hadley Jacobs is shy, a bit of an introvert who doesn’t have time for dating.
When they hook up at a wedding, the last thing either of them expects is for their night together to have repercussions that change both their lives forever.
It’s true opposites attract. Blake and Hadley should not work, but the chemistry between them is off the charts.
There were some seriously hot scenes in Gold Digger and I loved how Hadley grew stronger and developed her confidence.
The secondary characters were great and I look forward to reading Hunter’s book. I will also be checking out the first book in the series when time permits
This book had me from page one. I couldnt put it down til i finished.
It was funny and sexy. I loved it.
This hilariously funny story had me laughing until I cried. As per RB Hilliard’s normal story telling it was full of steam, heat, and relatable characters.
This book was amazingly sweet and funny. I loved getting to know Hadley and Blake and seeing Zane and Cathryn from utterly forgettable was the Cherry on the cake!! I absolutely adore these characters you will too!!
Another must read by R.B. Hilliard! I literally finished this book in a matter of hours! Gold Digger is the second book in the Whiskey Series by it is a stand alone. I absolutely fell in love with Blake and Hadley! One night of passion leads to a lot more. Hilliard draws you in so easily and the characters bring life to an incredible love story. There’s a reason R.B. Hilliard is my favorite author. I’ve read all of her books and I’ll continue to do so until she stops writing them.
RB Hilliard captivates you from the first page as she brings life two new characters from her Whisky’s series!
From start to end RB Hilliard will have you grinning and giggling with this brand new rom-com!
The chemistry Blake and Hadley share is off the charts and relationship that develops between them is fantastic!
R.B Hilliard has got to be one of my top favorite authors have loved and devoured all of her books many many MANY re reads for me so if she is new to you I highly recommend her just get your one click fingers ready and enjoy the ride . Gold digger ( love the name by the way ) can be read as a standalone but I suggest that you get Utterly forgettable the heroine and hero of that one make a couple of a amazing cameos plus LOVED their story (if you haven’t noticed yet I love this authors work) .This story had me hooked to every word and like always when it comes to R.BS books my emotions went along with how the characters are feeling like happiness , being afraid , sadness , frustration , anger , and of course lets not forget the HOT HOT HOT sex scenes super fire . Loved Blake and Hadley together they just clicked with very high sexual tension chemistry over load and they had me laughing my pants off with their hilarious yet foreplay like banter . Hadley was a really good heroine even though she did frustrate me with some of her quick to jump to conclusions she was still a a strong cookie loved her relationship with Cathryn and the way she was with the hero . Blake Blake BLAKE oh my gosh need me a slice of him the way he is with the heroine had me swooning while also wanting to be like dude What the front door but over all I was in need of a cold shower with how naughty this guy could get . It’s always awesome to see past characters from other books make appearances I can’t wait to see whats to come for this author I just know that it will be in my kindle and bookshelf .
